How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small, committed actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming emotions and improving emotional connection in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit the situation. Over the first sessions he will check in and adjust the plan so the approach matches what the client needs and prefers.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, provide shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to use strategies learned in session in their everyday settings. Licensed professionals can guide clients in applying skills between meetings and in adapting exercises to whatever setup the client uses for sessions.
